if you could put 1 piece of legislation on obama's desk, what would it be? (NAFTA, carry)

Ahhh.... to be king...

I'd change the marginal income (including capital gains) tax rate to:

Under $50k = 0% income tax
$50k - 75k = 10% income tax
$75k - 100k = 20% income tax
$100k - 150k = 30% income tax
$150k - 250k = 40% income tax
$250k - 500k = 55% income tax
$500k - 750k = 65% income tax
$750k - $1m = 75% income tax
$1m+ = 90% income tax

Death tax would be fixed at 0% for assets below $500k, 50% for everyone with assets above $500k, and 95% for all assets above $2.5m.

I'd set corporate taxes at 35% with no loopholes, no exceptions.

And I'd strip any company that moved it's operations offshore of its business license and jail their executives.

I'd probably throw Rush in jail for good measure too...

But, unfortunately I'm not the king...

Don't worry, we're fast on our way, that's a good reason why our economy is in the toilet.

No company would set up shop in this country and anyone with a brain would leave.

Only the greedy bottom feeders will be left.

I think you missed the memo that that is all that are left here anyway.

Just a second, I misread your post on gay marriage. I agree....

No worries, I guess I was vague on my intentions in my original post.

Repeal: DOMA and DADT; both relatively "easy" to accomplish, if the political will was there.

I heartily agree.
